No; the "autonomous region" of "Kurdistan" which we were told was a model
of successful democracy for the region. I very much doubt that the Kurds
encouraged Al Qaida, they probably didn't know, but it isn't evidence for
a link to the Saddam Hussein regime because its writ did not run
in the area. The "no-fly" and "exclusion" zones kept his forces out.

In the world of espionage, it is hard to be certian of anything.
I maintain there was a link. All of those terrorist groups are
loosly connected. I think after 9-11, Iraq tried to distance
themselves from bin Loudmouth, but I doubt Iraq had anything to
do with the actual planning of 9-11.
